Unknown Input Observer Design for Linear Parameter-Varying Systems in a Bounded Error Context

This article studies unknown input observer design for linear parameter-varying systems in a bounded error context. By presenting a novel unknown input observer structure, the output equation of linear parameter-varying systems is not restricted to be in a linear form. Moreover, by integrating decoupling technique and set-membership approach, a compromise is achieved between the restrictiveness and the conservativeness of estimation. Based on P-radius criteria, sufficient design conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, numerical simulations of a vehicle lateral dynamics system are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the presented method.
